• Living off campus is a luxury many college
  students dream of, but also a dream that some
  believe they cant afford. However, off-campus
  housing is affordable and comes with a multitude
  of benefits. In fact, its more affordable and
  more beneficial than on-campus housing. If youre
  unsure whether off-campus living is right for
  you, below is a list of benefits that could help
  you make up your mind.

Youre Free to Do What You Want

• Dorms are notorious for their rules and
  restrictions. For example, there are strict
  restrictions for overnight guests, curfews and
  citations for rule violations. Besides that, with
  the commonareas overrun with students, it could
  be impossible to find the privacy and peace to do
  basic domestic tasks, such as cooking.

• On the other hand, if you live in your own
  off-campus apartment, youll be free to do what
  you want as well as have the space and privacy to
  cook, study, have overnight guests and more.

Off-Campus Housing is a Money Saver
7

• Contrary to popular belief, on-campus living
  is more expensive than off-campus living. Besides
  that, the housing offers less for more. First,
  youll have a smaller living space thats shared
  with your roommate as well as common areas (e.g.
  lounge areas and bathrooms) that are shared with
  others. In the dining hall, youll also have to
  pay for expensive and often unhealthy meals.
  Youll also be required to pay for parking, which
  is notoriously expensive.

• Off-campus housing is more affordable. For
  example, preparing meals at home is healthier,
  more convenient and more affordable than eating
  out or in the dining hall. Most college dorms
  dont have kitchen areas, making meal preparation
  difficult or impossible.

• Additionally, off-campus apartments are often
  inclusive, which makes them even more affordable.
  Plus, apartment communities offer an array of
  amenities that cant be found in dormitories. You
  can save even more money by renting any student
  bachelor apartment Ottawa has to offer.

They Offer Many Amenities

• Beyond common areas and student lounges,
  college dormitories dont have a lot of amenities
  to offer. On the other hand, community and
  apartment amenities are an integral part of
  off-campus living. For instance, if you live in
  the 1Eleven community, youll have access to a
  gym, yoga studio, laundry facilities, study and
  social lounges, game room and even a restaurant.

• The community also offers secure access and
  security. Your apartment will be close to
  Carleton University as well as Byward Market and
  other shops and supermarkets. So, if youve
  figured out that off-campus living is right for
  you, make 1Eleven your first point of contact.
